nisford, some time since Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench. My Lord Bodmyn and Mr. Warwick, his Majesty's Minister for Denmark and Sweden, will go hence about the middle of next week. Upon Sunday the Court is to be in mourning for the death of the Princess Elizabeth, sister to Prince Rupert. This day the Common Council of the City of London met, and only debated particular affairs of the city, without so much as touching upon any thing else, notwithstanding a confident report we have had of late, that they intended at this assembly to revive the petition for calling a Parliament.
The person of whom you and I have had some discourse heretofore bids me assure you that you are as well as you can desire where you wish to be so, and likewise that she will be always ready to embrace whatever occasion may offer for your service.
I am, with all possible respect.
February 23rd.I was with the Prince in the evening; he told me that the Duke of Zell had already made an alliance with the King of France, but bid me not speak of it. He told me the King of France would certainly desire the alliance again
